I regularly work for a national model agency so in addition to providing great images I am able to provide insight into what the industry is looking for. This can be advise as to the type of modeling which would best suit your body type as well as what agencies are looking for from you. I can also advise as to the pitfalls of the industry and what to look for from an agency that is offering to represent you.
My portfolio sessions provide you with a selection of images from which to create the start of your portfolio. The session would provide you with headshots, a variety of differently styled full length/three quarter shots, a location look and where require/suitable a body shot in lingerie/swimwear. To achieve a professional set of images I can organize hair and makeup artists to create the different looks we need. Please note that my work is aimed at fashion, commercial or editorial models rather than the “camera club glamour models” and models under 18 will be required to attend with a chaperone. The portfolio building sessions usually last aprox 4 hours of studio time including breaks for styling/ makeup etc. Following the session you will be shown a gallery of all the images we have created, from which you chose your favorite 5 [ guidance is given if required]. Usually it would be one shot from each look. These are then fully retouched and given to you as 12x8 prints to start your portfolio. You are also supplied with the high resolution file of each of images you choose as well as a lo res copy so that you can get model cards and web pages etc created. Additional prints/files from the session are, of course, available.
I can also offer studio time for established models who are looking for an update - perhaps after a change of hair style/colour or who just want some additional looks in their portfolio or want to try out some new ideas. I often have new ideas/techniques of my own that I need to try out so look for models to work on a time for prints basis. Anyone wishing to join my list of time for prints models are invited to contact me.
Portfolio building sessions start at £150 with hair makeup artist from £50
